Adding Z-Wave Devices to the Simon XT

Devices must be within 6 ft of the Simon XT panel when adding them to the network. If a device will not be within 6ft of the Simon XT in its permanent installed location, include it in the network either before permanently mounting the panel or before installing the device.

Follow the manufacturer's directions to install and power up the Z-Wave device and make sure that it is working properly locally before adding it to the Z-Wave network. We recommend an HVAC professional for thermostat installations.

Make sure the alarm panel is connected to AC power when enrolling Z-Wave devices. Also, when adding devices, first add the devices that will be located closest to the control panel, and then move outwards.

Follow these directions for your particular panel to get to the Z-Wave menu:

Press the down arrow and Scroll down to System Programming and press Ok enter your installer code and press Ok. From here you will scroll down to Interactive Services and press Ok, then scroll down to Z-Wave Setup and press Ok, then scroll down to Add Device and press Ok.

The panel will prompt you to Push Button On Device. Follow these directions for your specific device:
